Are these guys still puting out product in the 3 3/4 line? I haven't seen anything new from them in awhile.

Yeah, mostly WWII stuff. I only see them at TRU.
They just came out with two WW2 weapon packs.

If you want something you can't find, you could track down their customer service. I once got some of their older sets (not the G36 or XM8 though) from them direct.

Sporadic WWII releases.




They need to drop that Hind D on us.

Actually, they just came out with a new assortment of WWII paratroopers. This time their harnesses are actually removable so you can actually have them set up without the parachutes.

I wish they'd put out more accessory packs in the modern weapons and laptops. They were/are great for accessories. Are they the one that made the current Bravo Team ones at Target with the MRE bundles? I can never tell, but those are contemporary soldiers.

No the BBI at Target was the Combat Command line. Bravo Team is a different company entirely. I've tried to contact thier customer service and was told they were sold out of the modern weapon assortments. :( Guess MJ is the only one still working the modern weapons out for us.

I've also seen the modern paratroopers at Toys R Us. I think that is all they have that is modern.

Yes indeed. And they are very cool. Between 21st and BBI, they had quite a lot of Paratroopers in gear. Being able to decide if I want then as pratroopers or regular on the ground guys is great.

Yeah, fat lot of good that did me with my White 19 Hellcat that had the missing nose shroud. Did receive a nicely-written letter from them, but they damn sure weren't that helpful in resolving the matter. :-/

BTW, it appears 21st Century is still on life-support, as the 88mm Flak is apparently finally to be released. At this rate, I'd guess the King Tiger will hit next Xmas. :roll:

Oh yeah you reminded me of something. I bought a BBI Apache from a friend online. It came but it was missing a few things & broken rotor. Well I tried e-mailing BBi to see for a replacement. I heard absolutely NOTHING from them. My friend was kind enough to exchange his for mine.

Oh and tkjaer21 already has that Flak.

Bravo Team is made by Unimax, Cap. The guys who are going to be offering (I hope SOON) those Ages of Action figures through the online e-tailers.

Haven't seen any of the modern Unimax guys lately though, just WWII American/German Army forces. Modern ones show up and they get snapped up faster than you can blink.

And for 100+ bucks and a 3-4 year old, less detailed than normal mold they can keep it.

I wrote them a letter and mailed it to them. I figured they'd be more apt to respond to a snail-mail letter than email. But even if you had contacted them that way, I wouldn't have expected much.

I saw one Flak 36/37 up for auction on Ebay, so I figured they were finally beginning to hit. Right now I'm just trying to determine what the price range is going to be like. The DAK color scheme isn't appealing to me, so I figure I'll wait until the second round ships...but frankly, I wonder if there will be enough re-orders for them to produce a second round. :-|

I wasn't keen on the DAK scheme either, but i figured i could crew it with Desert Scorpions.

Then the price came out and sank the boat.

Good grief...if it's going for $100 the King Tiger will be $150 or $175 easy (if it ever shows).

Hm. I wonder if this is just pricing for the DAK color scheme tho, since it's supposed to be "limited".
